In the two or three days before he ascended the throne, Guo Shao came to the Hall of Grace as soon as he was on duty. Today he was in a hurry, because the model had been cast, and now he should have cooled down when he returned.

Guo Shao hurriedly got out of the car, entered the yard and came to the blacksmith shop's house, and first cleaned up the sand mold on the threaded rod. After cleaning up, I looked at it and was stunned...... It looks like a dog gnawed bone.

He picked up a stick and cleaned it again, looking left and right, and he didn't think it could bite the threads...... A large number of sand holes and impurities are so rough that they may be difficult to pass after careful polishing.

The charcoal in the stove was still hot, and the gray on the surface was red and shiny, and Guo Shao sat on the stool in a daze. He thought about it for a long time and felt that there should be a problem with the purity of the iron, and the cooling was uneven.

If you don't use iron, how about copper?

But even if the copper is cast, it will take too long to polish...... Guo Shao returned to his original purpose, just to make a few toys by himself; Now that I have tried to make tools, I have not been successful, and if I continue to bury my head further and further, I may not have enough time to make toys.

The vise will have to find someone to help with it later, and even form an organization; But now I'm afraid it's too late to make all the gold and silver by hand.

…… Guo Shaoxian recorded in a new booklet that on March 29, the sixth year of Xiande, an attempt to make a vise thread failed. And the iron threads made are described and the reasons are summarized.

He started making models and sand molds of toys again until it was completely dark, and then he asked people to bathe and change clothes.

Guo Shao sat in the study for a while after taking a shower, and he found that there were study decorations on both sides of the window, with "Jingtian" written on the right side, and "Weidi" on the left, which was connected together by Jingtian and Weidi. These two pieces of paper are a bit old, not necessarily the (later) Zhou Dynasty emperor hung here, and the Tokyo Imperial City was not built by the Zhou Dynasty. Guo Shao didn't know who hung the things, but he could suddenly perceive a kind of psychology of the emperors of the past dynasties: extreme control and desire.

Even in such a small courtyard with a closed line of sight, the emperors still want to control the world remotely. Guo Shaoxin said: It's a pity that many things in this world are not controlled by subjective will.

At this time, the door was gently opened, and I saw Li Shanggong carrying a wooden plate and walked in cautiously, "Your Majesty, the concubine made a cup of tea for you." Then he walked over, took the teacup down and put it on the table, and immediately Guo Shao smelled a faint fragrance of tea.

He sat there doing nothing, and the books on the bookshelf next to him weren't what he was interested in reading tonight...... Casually glanced at it, it seemed that there were books such as the Book of Changes and the Book of Rites.

Li Shanggong probably also found out that Guo Shao was doing nothing, so he said softly beside him: "Many people in the palace envy the concubines for their long grace, and they can serve you by Your Majesty's side." The concubine heard someone say that His Majesty did this out of pity......"

Guo Shao turned his head to look at her after hearing this, and he also felt that this person looked average.

Li Shanggong said quietly: "But there are many poor people in this palace...... I feel that His Majesty really loves me. ”

In such a quiet night, Guo Shao was ready to kill a while before going to sleep, so he was very patient, so he said gently: "You sit down and talk." ”

Li Shanggong sat down lightly on a waist round stool, glanced at him expectantly, bowed his head and said, "Is the concubine right?" ”

Guo Shao pondered for a moment, nodded and muttered: "That's right, a woman like you is no better than those little ladies, she knows how good she is, and if she treats you a little better, you will care about it in your heart." Why I have a crush on you may also be a kind of compassion, maybe ......"

He showed a smile: "In this world, there are many things that cannot be explained, but can only be felt. ”

……

The next day was the first day of April, and the weather was clear and the sun was rising. The Jinxiang Hall is full of people, at least a few thousand, and today is a ceremony. Guo Shao didn't ask about most of the specific arrangements, and he had only learned a little bit of etiquette before...... At this time, the etiquette was no longer particularly rigorous, the Tang Dynasty was free and open to change the previous etiquette a lot, and since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world has been chaotic, and it does not pay attention to strict rules.

Even the robe worn by Guo Shao has a rough pattern workmanship, because it is something that has been rushed out in the past few days...... A robe with a blue base and many patterns embroidered on it. But what does it matter? As long as there is strength and majesty, the prop is just a symbol.

He first heard a burst of loud and slow music on the imperial chariot, the sound of chimes and drums was particularly obvious, and there were other musical instruments, Guo Shao couldn't hear them. He doesn't know much about music, but he can still appreciate it, and this symphony, which is called "Shao Music", is very imposing and grandiose.

Guo Shao stepped out of the car, his loose robe and the crown on his head (like a lid with a beaded curtain, in Guo Shao's opinion, like a hat worn by ghosts and gods on a nether coin) very inactive, so he moved very slowly.

He didn't turn his head to look around, but saw the scene in the square from the afterglow, countless officials, soldiers, and there were still people dancing in the middle, and men with shields and feathers were dancing there, dancing a strange dance like a god...... Guo Shao really doesn't understand it, but fortunately, many civil officials in the court do.

He slowly walked into the main hall from the middle gate, and the eunuch palace maid behind him bent down and followed from a distance, at this time Guo Shao felt a little lonely, no one approached him, and no one spoke. Only chimes and drums reverberate slowly and rhythmically.

There was also a group of women in long skirts dancing in the main hall, with particularly long sleeves, tossing around. However, when Guo Shao stepped into the threshold, they lined up in two columns and retreated to both sides. Leave the carpet in the middle leading to the throne above.

"Ding, dong, dong, dong......" Guo Shao heard the rhythm of the magnificent tune clearly, and walked forward slowly with his head held high. Hundreds of civil and military officials in the main hall bowed and served.

Guo Shao's current movements are very contrived, his hands are pressed on his belt, he walks in a straight line with his head held high, and he walks very slowly; The neck is also straight, and the head must not be moved, otherwise the crown on the head is easy to be crooked. He himself feels that he is acting, but fortunately, everyone is serious and solemn, so this kind of acting seems to be taken for granted.

Gradually, he gradually immersed himself from the state of distraction, immersed in this grand and ** atmosphere...... Maybe it's just a play, but only here can it be performed in the world, and if you dare to act in other places, you will trespass and catch the crime and the whole family.

The high throne, Guo Shao walked up for the second time. Compared to the first time, this time it felt different. He turned to face the main hall first, smoothed the sleeves of his robe, and sat upright, his hands released from his belt and divided into the armrests on both sides. The beaded curtain on the door of the head was still shaking.

At this time, the ministers below knelt on the ground together, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and shouted: "Your Majesty's holy life is boundless!" ”

Outside the open temple door, more voices came in, "Long live, long live, long live...... the sound of "long live, long live, long live" wafted between the magnificent temples and the wide imperial city, as if it had not dispersed for a long time. The music has stopped.

"Everyone, love Qing, flat." Guo Shao slowed down his speech as much as possible and said loudly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." A group of people shouted very neatly as if they had been rehearsed.

At this time, a civil official came out, stood at the top, and began to read a volume of articles. Guo Shao didn't understand most of the words, and he could still understand some words written on paper, so it was difficult to understand what they meant. Guo Shao looked below, there were some very familiar people, Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Li Chuyun, Wang Pu, Zuo You, etc., but at this time, they all seemed to have become strangers, everyone didn't look at each other, and each took care of their own actions.

Then the eunuch Yang Shiliang bowed to his position, and Guo Shao did not say a word or make any movements. Yang Shiliang stepped forward, unfolded a scroll of auspicious cloud pattern of the holy decree, and said loudly: "The edict is ......."

Guo Shao understood the next content, because he had read this edict yesterday, and then he took the jade seal and stamped it with the words "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity".

The content of the edict is relatively long, first explaining the legitimacy of ascending the throne, anyway, there are various reasons, reasons why it is not possible not to ascend the throne. Then came the amnesty of the world, in which most of those who had committed capital crimes were forgiven; Reduced taxes and forced labor within one year. The purpose is to ascend the throne of the new monarch and benefit the world. The last is to be knighted, which is something that Guo Shao and the ministers have discussed...... The more important person, Fu Yanqing changed his title from "King Wei" to "King Wei", and added Taishi, there is no substantive change, but his king is nominally favored by the new monarch; Li Chuyun was inspected before he was promoted to the palace, and the generals behind him entered the seal in turn; Luzhou Zhaoyi Army Festival made Li Yun change the title of "Tianping Festival Envoy" and govern Yunzhou, Hebei.

This edict can radiate far from this great hall; If it is not through the voice, the voice may not be heard clearly outside the palace, but it will gradually radiate through the connections of officials and state institutions, such as the official newspapers that can be transmitted to the local government offices. As far as the decree can be effectively transmitted, the tentacles of imperial power can be extended.

But intuitively, Guo Shao thought that the voice near the throne had some kind of mysterious power that radiated through the air. It is through this radiant power that the emperor controls the vast land and all things on it.

Guo Shao didn't say anything for a long time, and the four words of unknown origin came to his mind. Who must be listened to here? Nature is the subject under the rule. The Liao State can not listen, and even force the people on the throne to listen to them at some times! Further away is too lazy to listen, because it has nothing to do with them...... The power of radiation is still very limited.

Then the ministers began to congratulate one after another, and Guo Shao also said something in response. Today's ceremony is still ongoing, Guo Shao has learned that when the worship here is over, he has to go to the Taimiao Temple to worship and tell God and the Great Zhou Ancestor that he has succeeded to the throne.

Guo Shao doesn't feel tired, a person who has just been noticed by billions of people will have some excitement and excitement to experience novelty.
